The Alberta World Cup Academy and
the Capital Region Training Group have established a partnership to provide
prospective athletes with a more diverse set of options as they consider their
personal path to national and international excellence. The Alberta World Cup
Academy consists of athletes from clubs across Canada that have decided to
train full time with their primary goal being to qualify for a National level
team and/or international competition. The Capital Region Training Group
consists primarily of athletes from central and northern Alberta who are
training more part time and are currently either going to school full time
and/or working. The combination of the core AWCA Training Centre Team, based in
Canmore, and the CRTG Team enhance the ability to provide the highest quality
athlete support services possible to a wider geographic ski community while
building more connections in the athlete development stream. In the first two
year
s of this partnership the AWCA CRTG
programs have connected team athletes and coaches to over 250 club level
developmental athletes from over 12 clubs. In effect the Alberta World Cup
Academy and CRTG form a unique network of athletes, coaches and clubs that merges
the advantages of both professional volunteer capacities.
The Alberta World Cup Academy (AWCA)
is a vibrant, inclusive training Centre that offers high quality programming,
in a cost effective manner. We are partners with Cross Country Canada, Cross Country
Alberta, and the high performance ski community in Canada. We provide
opportunities to those athletes who show the aptitude to become internationally
successful.

Capital Region
Training Group
(CRTG) is a team of dedicated high performance
cross country ski racers who reside in Alberta’s Capital Region; are from
various youth development clubs; train together regularly; and who aspire to
someday be national and international cross country ski champions. The CRTG was
conceived of by athletes to create a platform to support their training and
competition goals while they also pursued education and/or work related goals.
In addition to regular high performance support systems, CRTG athletes are also
engaged as ski leaders through both coaching at clubs and through a series of
athlete development camps where they coach and inspire younger athletes in the
Capital Region.
